With the world still recovering from COVID-19, companies that adopt strategic Digital First Strategies are expected to make big gains in 2021. As data continues to reign supreme with the global roll-out of 5G, businesses need to ensure they're ready to capture market share and be successful in the #DataRevolution. To achieve this, companies should build a Global Versioned Data Lake, prioritize security top of mind, develop for scale in mind, adapt for multi-cloud, design for performance, upgrade technology frequently, tune and optimize for incredible performance, renew their training and education efforts, open source software for community initiatives, and provide open access to all developers.
